"God is outside of time" doesn't resolve the issue of God needing to define time coordinates and define a temporal order for a sequence of events. To do this globally for the entire universe is impossible.

This is not a mathematical model or a presentation of evidence. Pretty unconvincing. Anyone else want to give it a go?

2. A God that exists is greater than one that doesn't.
3. If God does not exist, God is not that than which nothing greater can be thought.
4. From 3 and 1, we can use a rule called modus tollens to infer that God does exist.
5. Thus, God exists.

There is zero evidence christians are more moral than anyone else. America is quite religious yet its by the far the prison capital of the world. HmmmYou keep saying that, but try comprehending my post you just quoted and come back to me when you have a clearer understanding. I'll even simplify it for you:
God gave us a conscience and thus a moral compass. Because of man's fallenness, we have a tendency to dull, corrupt or outright ignore our innate morality. Which leads to unnatural desires, unhealthy appetites, all variety of malice and malevolence.
The Bible is His word in physical form. If people used it as a point of reference and embraced it as gospel, society would have a greater chance of saying no to all forms of degeneracy that is constantly thrust upon it by the devil. It's not a matter of "I'm an empty emotionless shell and need a book to explain to me what's good or bad", like you're suggesting. It's a matter of society needing an anchor of morality in place of them deciding what's moral by consensus.
When we reject God, we are also rejecting the innate morality he gave us all. As a result making it easier to commit sin, accept degeneracy, and pursue a life of hedonism. I'm speaking in general terms. Of course the individual can be a moral person without believing in God, imo they're just more susceptible to sin that society deems acceptable (not illegal chit like murder or paedophilia), rather drag queen story hour, LGBT agendas, sexual fetishes/hardcore pornography etc.

But none of this changes the reality of God. He exits whether you disagree with me or not.

Say, ˹O believers,˺ We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us; and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants; what was given to Moses, Jesus, and other prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them. And to Allah we all submit.

Your reading comprehension sucks dude.
I never said or implied Christians need a book for morality.

How do you keep reaching these same conclusions even after I've thoroughly clarified your misunderstanding of my position? If you're going to respond to me, at least do me the courtesy of reading what I typed. It's either that or you're just really dumb, one or the other. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you've just skimmed over my posts so you can keep spewing the same strawman nonsense. It's like you see the words "God" and "Bible" and immediately get tunnel vision.

1. It is possible that a maximally great being exists.
2. If it is possible that a maximally great being exists, then a maximally great being exists in some possible world.
3. If a maximally great being exists in some possible world, then it exists in every possible world.
4. If a maximally great being exists in every possible world, then it exists in the actual world.
5. If a maximally great being exists in the actual world, then a maximally great being exists.
6. Therefore, a maximally great being exists.

There are courts. There are lawyers. There are court cases. There are juries. There are judges.
Laws are based on objective moral values.
